Chapter 2: Flying to London!

Your Perspective:

"What is up with this layover?!" I lamented. Our plane wasn't leaving for an hour past our actual boarding time, and now we weren't going to get to London until at least seven thirty. At night. Good thing the party was the next day, or else we'd be so late! We had already taken our first flight and I was impatiently waiting for our connecting flight.

"Get used to it, (Y/N). This happens all the time." Joe commented before going back to his phone. I pretended to feint.

"What if I die before we get on that plane?" I said dramatically.

"If you die in an hour, you would've died on the seven hour flight." he replied matter-of-factly. I hit him in the arm. "Ouch! Just stating the obvious."

"Well, hopefully you don't die before you try this airport food. This is so good." Zoe commented, holding what looked to be some sort of sub sandwich, completely stuffed with meat and veggies. My stomach grumbled as I realized all I'd eaten today was a bowl of cereal. You can't eat too much, (Y/N), I chastised myself. You just lost twenty pounds, you can't gain that back. Right. I passed up the offer from Zoe and opted to buy a small fruit smoothie from a place called Jamba Juice.

"You aren't going to eat lunch?" Joe asked me suspiciously.

"This is fine." I said, waving it away.

"It's barely anything, I'm not even sure it could be considered a snack."

"I'm not hungry. And besides, if I get hungry I can eat on the plane, right?"

"Alright." He was finally satisfied with my answer, and turned to play a two-player game with Zoe on her phone. I took mine out as well, and saw I had five missed texts. Holy crap. When did I become popular? Well, I mean... Obviously I was somewhat famous. But the only people who had my number were my family and a few close friends. The first two texts were my mom and dad, and I quickly replied to assure them I hadn't died. The next text was from my sister and best friend Mira.

Mira: How is it with the Suggs? Are they as amazing as they seem online???

Me: Even better! And they said I'm "really cool." I think I'm internally fangirling too hard rn XD

Mira: Just wait til you meet Dan and Phil! Take pictures for me, please!

Me: I'll try, haha. I'm trying to be cool Mira.

Mira: I know... But I can't believe you're meeting them. As friends! You know how long you've been talking about wanting to meet them? You must be soo excited.

Me: I am! But I'm gonna go, my plane is boarding now. :)

Mira: Tell me everything!!!

Me: I will, don't worry! Bye!

Before I put my phone away, I saw where my other two notifications had come from. Some unidentified number had texted me twice... Weird. I'd better check it, I decided, shrugging.

Unknown: Hey! I can't wait to meet you tomorrow!

Unknown: Oh by the way I'm not a creep, I got your number from Marcus, who got it from Joe, he says you're pretty cool!

How was I supposed to respond to that? And who was it anyways? After a few moments of confusion, and a few minutes of having to find where we were in the boarding line, I came up with:

Me: Oh awesome! It'd probably be more awesome if I knew who you were, though XD

I put my phone in my pocket and boarded the plane right before Joe and Zoe. Our seats were in the back of the plane and all together, thankfully. I got the window seat, Zoe called the aisle seat, and Joe got stuck in between us. We had about twenty minutes before we would actually be departing, so I took my phone out again to see if the unknown texter had identified themself.

Unknown: Oh, I forgot! It's Alfie. PointlessBlog? You know who I am, right?

Oh my God. Alfie Deyes. Did I know who he was? Of course I did! And he texted me first... Oh my God. After taking a minute to compose myself, I replied.

Me: Of course I know you! You have a great channel. I can't believe Joe's already given out my number! XD

Alfie: Haha, yeah... He did it as a prank, but honestly we're all just excited to add a new person to the group!

Me: That's nice to know! Hey the plane's gonna leave soon, so I'll talk to you later I guess?

Alfie: Sounds good! Have a nice flight!

Me: Thanks :)

I put my phone away and sighed happily. I already had a friend there! And if what Alfie said was true, then everyone was excited to meet me. Which was great! And kind of scary. What if I'm not who they thought I'd be? And what if- Hey, wait a minute! Joe gave out my number!

"Already gave people my number, huh?" I asked, turning to him.

"Ugh, who told?" he groaned.

"A person who shall remain unnamed." I replied slyly. He eyed me suspiciously again.

"Interesting..." he smirked.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing. Just wondering if you'd be someone who would agree to pranking people tomorrow." he answered, eyes shining.

"Depends. Who are we pranking?"

"All the girls. We need an insider." he whispered. Zoe already had her headphones on, there was really no point in talking quietly.

"I'm in." I decided happily. Joe smiled wide. "So what are we doing then?"

"I'll tell you when the plane's in the air." he whispered, then faced forward again. I giggled softly under my breath. This was going to be great!

We pulled up to the large hotel building, and I tried to find a parking spot quickly. I was driving again, because I needed a rental car. It was a nice red car, but I missed (car name). Is it weird to miss a car? I wondered briefly, taking the key out of the ignition and unbuckling. I turned to the back seat, where Zoe was sleeping. Joe chuckled and looked back and forth from me to her.

"Whatever you're thinking, don't." I warned.

"How did you know I wanted to do something?" he laughed.

"That look in your eyes. Just don't do it, I'll wake her up so you can't." I said, making him furrow his eyebrows. I smirked. Leaning back and shaking Zoe's shoulder, I whispered, "Wake up, we're here!"

"Good morning, princess." Joe said in a funny voice.

"We're here already?" she said sleepily.

"Yeah. Get your bags!" I said excitedly. I couldn't wait for this. The party wasn't until tomorrow night, but it would be at this hotel. Tomorrow, we'd be staying in the biggest room they had. There was a huge swimming pool here as well, with a few slides too. Excitement!

We got out of the car and I opened the trunk so we could get all of our bags. I only had two, my blue backpack and a small purple suitcase. It wasn't like I was staying too long. I slammed the trunk shut and turned around dramatically, smiling like an idiot.

"I'm staying in London!" I whispered to myself happily. Zoe turned her head and smiled at me.

"Well let's go in then," she joked, "Unless you were planning on staying the night out here?" I laughed, and we continued walking into the building.

Author's Note!

Alright, so since this is a fanfic I've decided to split up some of the chapters because they were over 2000 words each, whoops XD But this way I can update more regularly! Not that that's saying much... I really need to work on my scheduling. Anyways, hope you liked this chapter! Love you all!
